Several parents in your neighborhood decide to have a
“chickenpox” party. They want to synchronize their
kids’ chickenpox outbreaks with their busy schedules.
One of the mothers, who has never had chickenpox,
finds out that she is pregnant the day after being
exposed to chickenpox. She is not yet symptomatic
(from the pregnancy or the chickenpox).
The best advice for this potential parent about
her pregnancy is:
A) Consider termination since it is likely that the child
will have congenital varicella.
B) Get treated within 48 hours of exposure with varicella
immune globulin.
C) Get treated within 48 hours of exposure with varicella
immune globulin plus varicella vaccine.
D) Get treated within 48 hours of exposure with IVIG
plus varicella vaccine.
Manifestations of intrauterine infection with
varicella zoster include all of the following
defects EXCEPT:
A) Microphthalmia.
B) Congenital cataracts.
C) Cardiac abnormalities.
D) CNS abnormalities.
These children are considered infectious until:
A) 5 days after the first lesion appears.
B) 10–14 days after the first lesion appears.
C) New lesions are no longer forming.
D) All lesions are crusted over.
E) They are no longer febrile.
E) Limb hypoplasia.
